No! We only take walk-ins for day and beach rentals. Because we also have a family-owned brand of our own standup paddleboards The Rideau, we almost always have availability for rental walk-ins. For longer term rentals we also take walk-ins, but you can also contact us via the contact information below or at 705 772-1020 to talk about reserving an iSUP for takeaway.

SECURITY DEPOSIT: You do not have to leave a refundable security deposit for the value of the kayak or SUP you rent, however, you will be asked to leave a security item such as a CC, or drivers license and car keys, to ensure the safe return of equipment on time and in the condition it was rented to you. If you do not choose to do so, you may be asked to make a security deposit instead. WAIVER: You will be able to fill out an online Waiver right at our Kiosk or you can save time when you rent by filling it ahead of time (see our page Rent or our website footer). Only one person from your group or family need to fill this out and it is one time only... you won't need to sign it next time you visit. The signer will, however, need to be responsible for the equipment and for anyone they share the equipment with. They will also be required to fill out an Equipment Agreement providing us with some information and what equipment you'll be renting. We will help provide additional safety and usage tips for your equipment, however, you do need to have the knowledge, experience and ability to engage safety in paddling. You will do a quick check of all the equipment before you head to the water. Have fun! Drop in at our beachside rental kiosk and we'll make it simple and easy for you to rent a paddleboard or a kayak or canoe... Choose your kayak, canoe or SUP. Our World Paddleboard Certified Instructors can help you choose what's right for you. All the extra safety and paddle accessories you need to paddle and for safety will come with your rental at no extra cost.

There may be late fees if you are past closing. See our "What if I can't make it back in time?" question in our FAQ.

We offer several recreational Clearwater kayaks for rental, including the Inuvik, the Muskoka, and the Iqaluit. The Inuvik and Iqaluit are what we feel to be the best recreational kayaks on the market, with wide spacious cockpits for your safety, lots of stability, roomy, and feature great performance for a recreational kayak. The Muskoka is a small touring kayak, offering a bit more performance than a recreational kayak for adults, but great for kids and smaller adults as well.

For that short walk to the water, you may prefer to rent an inflatable iSUP. We have only the best here - our own family the brand The Rideau! Beautiful to look at, light to carry, stable and easy to ride for beginners or intermediate paddlers. This is a great choice. We also have solid bamboo/fiberglass Rideau paddleboards for rent, in a variety of types and styles. The Rideau All Rounder SUPs come in two gorgeous styles and colours, as well as two sizes. The 10' 6" size has a weigh capacity of 200 lbs and is perfect for paddlers from beginners to experienced. The 11'6" has a weight capacity of 230 lbs, and is also great for any type paddler. The All Rounders are stable, lightweight (under 30 lbs) so easy to carry, and great for yoga, learning to paddle, or any kind of recreational paddling. The Rideau Touring SUP comes in two sizes and styles as well. The 11'6" has a weight capacity of 260lbs and is perfect for that sized paddler who wants more performance from a SUP. It's stable, fast, manuverable, and oh so much fun to paddle. The 12'6" has a bit more volume and can handle anyone up to 300 lbs. Both sized touring boards are made for speed and endurance... with the displacement hull style of a touring board they cut through the waves or wind, take less effort to paddle and can go anywhere.

Constance Bay Paddle is directly across from the Constance Bay Point Beach parking lot. It's a few steps from the beach, an easy walk with your rented paddlecraft to the water.
